Sure, it appears that evidently each highschool in Salt Lake is called after a cardinal course, however the inclusion of one other faculty’s drama division is extra stress than we are able to cope with proper now! We’re nonetheless questioning if Nini (Olivia Rodrigo) goes to remain or head to her prestigious drama faculty in Colorado. Who’s going to play Belle in Beauty and the Beast if she’s not round to do it?
The East Excessive drama program getting an enormous shakeup is not the one motive to fret about this new casting announcement. Zack can also be Miss Jenn’s (Kate Reinders) ex-boyfriend.

All of this spells bother, and likewise most likely a dance-off — as a result of in case you have Derek Hough, why not?
Even when it means epic musical numbers, we’re undecided how we really feel about somebody making issues much more tough for our East Excessive infants. The one factor that may make it higher is new episodes of HSMTMTS, however we nonetheless have some time to attend for that.
Season 2 is at the moment in manufacturing and is anticipated to premiere later this yr on Disney+.
